My Billionaire Ex-Husband's Regret 38
Olivia ~•~I switched off my phone the following day because I didn’t want to speak to Alexander. I had no idea what he was doing in California and I wasn’t ready to see him just yet. He must’ve left me a lot of calls and messages because he opted to send me emails. I still didn’t respond to the emails which were popping up on my computer screen at work. “What is he doing here?” Ethan asked angrily as he stormed into my office. Was he out of his mind? What was who doing here? My face twisted in disgust. “What are you talking about?” I asked, oblivious of what he was talking about. He looked so pissed and I couldn’t help but wonder what was happening. “Your ex-husband, Alexander.” I chuckled in disbelief. I wasn’t expecting him to show up at my workplace. How did he even know I was at work? “Where is he?” I stood up from my chair, walking in the direction of the door. Just as I was about to step out, Ethan held my hand and dragged me back. “I’ll just tell him to leave. You don’

Olivia ~•~“I’m just called to inform you that I’m having lunch with the kids, Alexander, and his parents tomorrow,” I said to Ethan as he answered the phone. “Hello to you too,” Ethan responded in a sarcastic tone. “I’m sorry.” I apologized, taking a deep breath. “Hey, how are you doing?” I asked. I was stressed out, so I just went straight to the point initially. Plus, I wanted to inform Ethan about the lunch before he would find out by himself. “I’m good, babe. How are you?” Ethan replied and I sighed heavily. “I’m good. I just had a long day.” I had to take the kids to the park as a reward for good behavior. And unlike the last time we went, nobody interrupted us, so we spent a lot of hours there. “Sorry about that, love.” He said sympathetically. “What time are you leaving for lunch? I could pick you up and drop you there.” That was a kind gesture but I couldn’t accept it. I was trying my best to keep Ethan and Alexander apart from each other. Without hesitation, I shoo

Alexander ~•~“Please, I know how you feel about the situation but just be nice to her.” I reminded my parents again even though I had said it several times. “Sure, Alexander. We will be nice to the lady who kept your children away from you all these years.” My mother offered a fake smile as she placed the last set of cutlery on the table. Since it was her first time meeting her grandchildren, she insisted on cooking lunch herself. Even when Caroline and the chef offered to help, she declined their help. “Please, just pretend to be nice.” I pleaded again and my mother nodded in agreement. If she had her way, she would have asked Olivia to drop off the kids and pick them up after lunch. Things were finally starting to get good with Olivia again and I didn’t want to ruin it. “She just texted to let me know she’s on her way,” I announced when my mother was done setting the table. “Are you nervous?” Caroline raised a brow at me when she saw how restless I had become. “Don’t tell me

Olivia ~•~I was surprised by how Alexander’s parents reacted to my apology. I wasn’t expecting them to forgive me so easily. I was just being nervous for nothing. After talking for a while, I excused myself from the table because I needed some fresh air. As I walked outside, I noticed someone was walking behind me. I didn’t need anyone to tell me that it was Alexander walking behind me. When we got to the foyer, I stopped and turned to him. “I wasn’t expecting them to be so nice,” I confessed, my voice laced with disbelief. Alexander smiled and took my hands in his. “Yeah, everyone is ready to move forward. I’m ready to move forward with you too. Have you thought about what we discussed in New York?” He asked, staring directly into my eyes. I hesitated for a while. I wanted to tell him about Ethan and me but he looked so excited, so I didn’t want to hurt his feelings. “I want you back, Olivia. I made a mistake years ago and I want to make everything right.” He added and I was

Olivia ~•~When I wanted to go back to Alexander’s house to pick up the kids, he offered to bring them home himself. I declined the offer because I didn’t want him to know where I was living. Alexander, however, didn’t take no for an answer. He insisted he would drop them off himself. Even if I didn’t let him come to my apartment, he was going to find out where I lived one way or another. After much back and forth, I finally decided to let him bring the kids. He was just going to drop them off and leave immediately after, so I had nothing to worry about. I wasn’t going to let him inside. While waiting for the kids to arrive, I decided to call my sister. It had been a while since we last spoke. I grabbed my phone from the side drawer and dialed Amanda’s number. “Hello, stranger.” She teased as she answered the call on the first ring. I couldn’t help but laugh. “How is it going?”“Good, I guess. I just wanted to check up on you, it’s been a while.” I rubbed a thumb across my brow.

Alexander ~•~“I’m seeing someone, so it isn’t appropriate to kiss me anymore.” My eyes widened in disbelief as I heard Olivia say those words. When she said she had to talk to me about something, I didn’t expect it to be about a new relationship. “You’re seeing someone else?” I asked, trying to figure out if I heard her correctly. “You’re seeing someone else?” I repeated. I didn’t want to believe she was seeing someone else. “Yeah, I am.” She responded. But those weren’t the words I wanted to hear. I still didn’t believe it because a part of me felt she was just saying it to push me away. “Who? Who are you seeing?” I was curious to know who the man was. My heart was already breaking and my frustration was growing. Olivia heisted and I stared at her in anticipation. “Ethan.” She replied in a low tone and I felt my chest tighten. I couldn’t hold myself back. “Your ex, Ethan? The coworker?” I asked, my jaw tightening. I knew Ethan liked her but I never thought she would settle fo

Olivia ~•~“So you still don’t know your plans for tomorrow?” Ethan asked as he walked me out of the office to my car. It was the weekend and I had no idea what I was going to do. I shook my head. “I don’t have anything planned. I’ll just stay at home with the kids.” I replied as I unlocked the car door. Ethan placed a kiss on my forehead. “Let’s do something tomorrow with the kids. Maybe go to a nice restaurant for lunch.” Ethan suggested and I shrugged. “I don’t know about that.” Yes, Ethan was close to the kids, but I didn’t think it was a good idea to go out for lunch with him and the kids since Alexander was still around. Ethan’s brows furrowed. “Why?” He asked, with a puzzled expression registered on his face. “Is it because of Alexander?” I didn’t want to talk about Alexander and I didn’t want him to press further, so I decided to agree to having lunch with him. “We can do lunch tomorrow, the kids will be happy about it.” Ethan’s face lit up with a warm smile, clearly

Olivia ~•~“Mama, Uncle Ethan is here!” Rowan burst into my room, his voice bubbling with excitement. “And Mama, your dress is beautiful.” He added, staring at me with admiration. I smiled with pride. “Thank you, sweetie,” I replied, feeling grateful for his kind words. “Tell Uncle Ethan I’ll be out soon,” I said, giving Rowan a gentle nudge towards the door. When Rowan left, I did the last part of my makeup and walked over to the floor-length mirror to see my final look. Rowan was right, I looked so good. With a final glance in the mirror, I grabbed my bag and headed for the living room. As I walked outside, all eyes were on me. “You look so stunning!” Ethan confessed, a hint of admiration in his voice. Riley chimed in with a beaming smile. “My mama is so beautiful.” I blushed, taken aback by their kind words. My simple black bodycon dress with a subtle slit had made a bigger impact than I anticipated.“Thank you, guys,” I said in appreciation, meaning every single word. “Shal

Chapter 269Riley Burke ~•~I wanted everything to be perfect! For the past two weeks, I’ve been looking forward to this day. Mason and I were finally going on our date. I had no idea why I was nervous. It wasn’t like it was the first time I was going out with him. Maybe I was just having PTSD from our last date. But I knew I had nothing to be worried about. My father had assured me that he was okay with me being with Mason. He wanted me to be happy, even if my happiness included being with someone who had hurt us in the past. It wasn’t Mason who hurt us but I just didn’t focus on that part. As long as he was ready to move past the whole situation, I didn’t care to correct him anymore. “The makeup artist is here!” Rowan yelled loud enough for me to hear after knocking on my room door. Yes, I had to ask for a professional makeup artist because I was hellbent on making everything perfect. “I’ll be downstairs soon,” I replied as I wore my hair bonnet to protect my hair while getti

Chapter 268Mason Craig ~•~Ever since Riley’s father picked her up from the restaurant and interrupted our date, I had this lingering feeling of sadness inside me. But I acted like everything was fine and normal. I didn’t want to put too much pressure on her. I felt hurt because every day I woke up, I was reminded that she wasn’t my girl and could easily give another boy a chance. I didn’t want that to happen but at the same time, I didn’t have any control over it. Every day felt like torture but I was glad that it had finally come to an end. Riley’s father had finally approved of our relationship. A wave of excitement surged through me but I tried my best to remain calm when she told me about it. I would finally be able to be with the girl of my dreams. I had a feeling that he changed his mind because my father agreed to help when Riley had gone missing. I also had my father to thank. He finally fixed the mess he had caused earlier. Everything was finally going smoothly. I h

Chapter 267Olivia ~•~“Are you sure you don’t mind seeing them together?” I asked Alexander for the umpteenth time when he said he wanted to tell Riley that she could be with Mason. I didn’t want a situation where he would second guess his choice and regret his decision. Or a situation where he wouldn’t be nice to the boy later in the future. It wouldn’t be fair on Riley. Alexander nodded his head as he parked the car in the driveway. “Yes, I’m sure.” He assured me. “I shouldn’t be the one to take away my daughter’s chance at teenage love.” He added, smiling at me. I shrugged. “Okay, if you say so,” I replied as I loosened my seatbelt. “I hope you don’t have any secret animosity towards him that will reveal itself later.” Alexander laughed. “Don’t you trust me?” He asked, raising a brow at me. “I’m not holding anything against the boy. Not even his parents.” “Fine.” We stepped out of the car and made our way into the house. On our way back home, we stopped at the mall to get

Chapter 266Riley Burke ~•~It was fun having my friends over for the weekend. And it was a total flop trying to pretend like I was surprised when they first arrived. They saw right through my pretense. Even if we hadn’t been friends for so long, they knew me well enough. I barely even thought about what I had gone through while they were around. Having them around was a good distraction. I was sad that they had to leave. But I couldn’t do anything about it as I walked them to the car. During their stay, I realized that it was actually my mother’s idea to invite them over. Now it made sense why she was so welcoming. My mother didn’t usually like it when I had my friends over. I mean, my friends from high school. Our family was always under scrutiny, so she didn’t trust anybody. It was nice to see her giving my new friends a chance. The weekend was over and it was a new school week. I hadn’t completely healed but even when I assured my parents that I would be okay, they claime

Chapter 265Riley Burke ~•~As soon as my dad handed me a new phone, I found my friend's phone number and called them immediately. It was already noon and on the weekend, so I was confused about why none of them answered their phones. I mean, those girls were literally always with their phones. I really wanted to speak to them, but I guess I had to wait until later to try calling them again. Maybe they were busy with something. I spent most of my time inside my room and I was getting bored. Normally, my mother didn’t like it when l took my food upstairs but this time, she brought the food to my room by herself. I hadn’t gotten any reason to go downstairs. I needed a change of environment, so I decided to freshen up and head downstairs. I was pretty sure Rowan and Jason were playing video games in the living room. After spending about thirty minutes in the bathroom, I dressed up in my comfortable sweatshirt and shorts before making my way downstairs. “Hey,” Jason said as soon a

Chapter 264Olivia ~•~I wanted to accompany Alexander when he was going to see Maxim, but he refused. I knew that he didn’t want me to see him, but still, he said I was going to see him later. After helping Riley with dinner and giving her medication, I went back to the room to meet Alexander. I hadn’t talked to him since he came back from the station. “Hey, what happened at the station?” I asked him as I walked into the room. He was standing in front of the closet and searching through it. “I have something to tell you,” Alexander muttered under his breath. My interest became piqued. “I’m listening,” I responded as different thoughts ran through my head. Alexander sounded so serious and I couldn’t help but wonder what he wanted to say to me. He took a deep breath and turned around. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier.” He cleared his throat and continued. “You remember when you found out that Maxim was a fraud?” He asked and I nodded, anticipating what he had to say next. “Y

Chapter 263Riley Burke~•~When we finished at the restaurant, my father asked my mother to drive me back home. He wanted to go to the station to see Maxim and the other men who kept me hostage. My mother wanted to accompany him but he refused, saying she would see him later. As soon as my father left, I followed my mother to the car. I couldn’t wait to go back home and see my brothers. I was so excited to see everyone. Being free felt so good. “Riley, I’m inviting the doctor over, so she can do a checkup and give you the necessary treatments you need.” My mother said as I settled down on the passenger’s seat. I hated anything related to hospitals or medical care, but I couldn’t protest against it. I actually needed medication because I was still in pain. My legs and my head were still hurting and I needed the pain to stop. “Sure,” I responded with a smile and my mother nodded. A few minutes later, we arrived at the house. My heart leaped for joy as the security guards open

Chapter 262 Rowan Burke ~•~I loved my sister but I had no idea that her absence would affect me so badly. Ever since I realized she was missing, I couldn’t even focus on anything else. My mind was always racing with different thoughts. What if something bad had happened to her and my parents took so long to search for her? Everyone thought Riley had willingly disappeared but that wasn’t the case. My sister was missing. I couldn’t even talk to anyone or go anywhere. I shut everyone out, including my girlfriend, Belle. Until Riley was found, I was certain that I would be restless. While my parents were at the station, I kept on blowing their phones with constant calls. Most of the time, they didn’t respond. A part of me felt bad because I wanted to be kept in the loop, I wanted to know what was going on, or even if they had gotten a lead. But I knew that they were busy and my calls were distracting them from doing their work. When my mother finally answered her phone, she a

Chapter 261Olivia ~•~Different waves of emotions rushed through me as I saw Riley running in our direction. Relief, joy, and gratitude swirled together, overwhelming me.I was so happy to see her. For a moment, I thought we were at a dead end. I thought she had left the house or the men they caught were probably lying about her whereabouts. She looked so scared but also excited to see us. Before I could even move, Alexander rushed and pulled her in a tight hug. I was still in shock as I watched them reunite. After a few moments, I joined them, turning the hug into a group hug. “Oh my baby, um happy to see you.” I smiled at Riley as we broke the hug. Riley looked like she was struggling to hold back her tears. I could only imagine what she had gone through at the hands of those people. Alexander stepped aside to call the detectives. He wanted them to know that we had seen Riley. While he made the call, I led Riley to the car. As soon as we got into the car, I began asking her
